Benda's Vinster X 700: New Scrambler Roars to Life!

At EICMA 2026, Chinese manufacturer Benda introduced the Vinster X 700, a neo-retro scrambler designed to complement its Vinster 700 roadster. This new model builds upon the same mechanical platform but adopts a more rugged aesthetic.

The Vinster X 700 is powered by a 691.66cc liquid-cooled V-twin engine. This powertrain delivers 54 kW (73.4 PS) at 9,000 rpm and 68 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm, paired with a six-speed gearbox. The engine is also utilized in Benda's Rock 707 cruiser and Capra 700.

Distinctive features of the Vinster X 700 include a larger 19-inch front wheel compared to the Vinster 700's 17-inch, coupled with more aggressive tire treads. It also sports a high-mounted front mudguard, handguards, and under-engine protection. The motorcycle offers a taller 865mm seat height and has a kerb weight of 200kg.

Hardware includes a double-cradle frame, upside-down front forks with 135mm travel, and a rear shock absorber with 120mm travel. Braking is handled by front and rear discs, supported by a two-channel ABS. The bike is equipped with a TFT display and convenient USB-A and USB-C charging ports.

Benda has not yet disclosed pricing or a definitive launch timeline for the Vinster X 700. Information regarding its commercialization and availability will be communicated separately, particularly for the French market. The manufacturer has also not announced any plans for an Indian launch.
